Jean Vanier, founder of the L'Arche communities, is pictured in a March 11, 2015, photo. On Feb. 23, 2020, Holy Cross Father John I. Jenkins, president of the University of Notre Dame, revoked the Notre Dame Award conferred upon Vanier in 1994 after an investigation by L'Arche found credible allegations that Vanier sexually exploited six women. Vanier, who died in 2019, asked the women to keep their relations secret. (CNS/courtesy Jean Vanier Association)
